Based on select writings from a collection of more than two thousand Dutch diaries written during World War II in order to record this unparalleled time, and maintained by dedicated archivists, The Diary Keepers illuminates a part of history we haven't seen in quite this way before — from the stories of a Nazi-sympathizing police officer to a Jewish journalist who documented daily activities at a transport camp. Journalist Nina Siegal, who grew up in a family that had survived the Holocaust in Europe, had always wondered about the experience of regular people during World War II; she'd heard tales told as moral lessons or with punchlines, but the real details were often left out to make history easier to digest. When Siegal moved to Amsterdam and began researching this question, a haunting new one emerged: why did 75% of the Dutch Jewish population perish in the war while numbers elsewhere were lower? The Diary Keepers mines these personal accounts to understand resistance, memory, and how we re-envision the past.",2023,"en","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7cgnd4c6xpcw9r6yxkwmk9.jpg?v=0e9e3cd563","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kx7cgncnrstfg0mr1mtb2z0j.png?v=c8b0a1db2b","LiNunIR6IraK}me:V[V@5soeocof","5.00",1,416,473,0,"complete",false,true,[18,18,18,18,18,18,18,18,18,15],[24],{"id":25,"slug":26,"name":27,"role":28,"bio":7},"01kx7cgncz8pqyd7qmrv01tmy2","nina-siegal-0vbm","Nina Siegal","author",[30,34],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},57,"Military","military",{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},70,"History","history",[],[],[41,45,49,52,55,58,62,65,68,71,74,77,80,83,86,89,92],{"id":42,"name":43,"type":44},"01kjq85ygjtr2mx7jkakfc44y2","Europe","subject",{"id":46,"name":47,"type":48},"01kk37c3snr2xdsmh345f77sws","Western","place",{"id":50,"name":51,"type":44},"01kjsqdfqbzsy0hr2014n1rqmw","Jewish",{"id":53,"name":54,"type":44},"01kjsvvgns60k8kvjx5e8m2tgd","Nuclear Warfare",{"id":56,"name":57,"type":44},"01kpwey67vt7y9vn035c7s6yt3","Wars & Conflicts",{"id":59,"name":60,"type":61},"01kjq88rd6qs3xt856qrh64h43","World War II","time",{"id":63,"name":64,"type":44},"01kwdy4cv72zea93gn243zczqa","Afghan War (2001-2021)",{"id":66,"name":67,"type":61},"01kkfmemqy9xd8sd0e5hd2s0kg","Napoleonic Wars",{"id":69,"name":70,"type":44},"01kx7cgndpvtp101t0gmt7m6n7","Civil Wars",{"id":72,"name":73,"type":44},"01kx7cgndsramaetgkn27atjvw","Guerrilla Warfare",{"id":75,"name":76,"type":44},"01kx7cgndwqjyppjv7s7x89vnt","European Theater",{"id":78,"name":79,"type":44},"01kjq7veer0etyksrw88vp71nh","Literary Collections",{"id":81,"name":82,"type":44},"01kr834ykk88x3ne60n281w8c3","Diaries & Journals",{"id":84,"name":85,"type":44},"01kkc5nbrcvv9h2f8msepwcnkn","Subjects & Themes",{"id":87,"name":88,"type":61},"01kk7gjz3vzybmdtfs39kx8d9z","War",{"id":90,"name":91,"type":44},"01kmdm2dwtt37mt8h7hb1qwhm3","European History",{"id":93,"name":94,"type":44},"01kjq6z6dj8q71waz0s6gxjgdz","Military History",[],[97,110,122],{"id":98,"title":99,"edition_name":7,"format":100,"format_label":101,"page_count":102,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"narrator":7,"publish_date":103,"cover_url":104,"cover_blurhash":105,"isbn_13":106,"asin":7,"publisher":107,"language":10,"quality_score":108,"submission_status":109},"01kx7cgqpcc3t9takn9hcmx4zj","The Diary Keepers World War II Written by the People Who Lived Through It","paperback","Paperback",544,"2024-02-06","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7cgqpcc3t9takn9hcmx4zj.jpg?v=c353186a18","LlOUz^VZIti_}mjGV[V[5soeoJof","9780063070660","HarperCollins Publishers",10,"approved",{"id":111,"title":112,"edition_name":113,"format":114,"format_label":115,"page_count":116,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"narrator":7,"publish_date":117,"cover_url":118,"cover_blurhash":7,"isbn_13":119,"asin":7,"publisher":120,"language":10,"quality_score":121,"submission_status":109},"01kx7cgndadkdk8y5bjwackv0q","The Diary Keepers","1","kindle","Kindle",304,"2023-02-21","https:\u002F\u002Fimages.isbndb.com\u002Fcovers\u002F11910873482210.jpg","9780063070677","HarperCollins",11,{"id":123,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":124,"format_label":125,"page_count":126,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"narrator":7,"publish_date":127,"cover_url":11,"cover_blurhash":13,"isbn_13":128,"asin":7,"publisher":129,"language":10,"quality_score":108,"submission_status":109},"01kx7cgnd4c6xpcw9r6yxkwmk9","hardcover","Hardcover",527,"2023","9780063070653","HarperCollinsPublishers",{"summary":8,"pace":131,"complexity":132,"complexity_score":133,"audience":134,"mood":135,"themes":139,"setting_period":140,"content_warnings":141},"slow","dense",7,"adult",[136,137,138],"dark","reflective","thought-provoking",[],"World War II (1939-1945)",[142,143,144],"genocide","child-death","torture",{"id":123,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":124,"format_label":125,"page_count":126,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"publish_date":127,"cover_url":11,"cover_blurhash":13,"isbn_13":128,"asin":7,"publisher":129,"language":10},[],"2026-07-11T01:26:19.000000Z",[149,185,211,243,271,294,318,338,367,389],{"id":150,"slug":151,"title":152,"description":153,"primary_cover_url":154,"cover_blurhash":155,"first_publish_year":156,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":157,"authors":158,"genres":163,"series":177,"enrichment":178},"01kx6nzgbjv1bgy1bqe0wm8ce2","storm-of-steel-xwbf","Storm of Steel","Ernst Jünger's first-person memoir of his service as a German officer on the Western Front, December 1914 to August 1918, drawn from his wartime diary.

Celebrated historian Dan Jones describes how the longest-reigning British royal family tore itself apart until it was finally replaced by the Tudors. Some of the greatest heroes and villains of history were thrown together in these turbulent times, from Joan of Arc to Henry V, whose victory at Agincourt marked the high point of the medieval monarchy, and Richard III, who murdered his own nephews in a desperate bid to secure his stolen crown. This was a period when headstrong queens and consorts seized power and bent men to their will. With vivid descriptions of the battles of Towton and Bosworth, where the last Plantagenet king was slain, this dramatic narrative history revels in bedlam and intrigue. It also offers a long-overdue corrective to Tudor propaganda, dismantling their self-serving account of what they called the Wars of the Roses. The best-selling author of The Plantagenets traces the 15th-century civil wars that irrevocably shaped the British crown, particularly evaluating the roles of strong women including Margaret of Anjou, Elizabeth Woodville and Margaret Beaufort in shifting power between two ruling families. Includes six maps and four genealogies.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nyefdchfk1aedb30v97cy.jpg?v=3dc3cf70e4","L03vBmQ*00$cwkoetJXB8{RQ.lS#",2014,"4.00",392,[254],{"id":255,"slug":256,"name":257},"01kkc8vydx9mrnt6z501xm33sm","dan-jones-ikdb","Dan Jones",[259,260,264],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},{"id":261,"name":262,"slug":263,"is_fiction":21},56,"Medieval","medieval",{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":267,"complexity":7,"audience":134,"mood":268,"themes":270,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"fast",[136,269],"tense",[],{"id":272,"slug":273,"title":274,"description":275,"primary_cover_url":276,"cover_blurhash":277,"first_publish_year":278,"community_rating_avg":251,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":279,"authors":280,"genres":285,"series":289,"enrichment":290},"01kx7exrzpepaxt3z6zbs472tb","sisters-in-arms-s6bx","Sisters in Arms","\"Grace Steele and Eliza Jones may be from completely different backgrounds, but when it comes to the army, specifically the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC), they are both starting from the same level.

The century since the end of the Napoleonic wars had been the most peaceful era Europe had known since the fall of the Roman Empire. In the first years of the twentieth century, Europe believed it was marching to a golden, happy, and prosperous future. But instead, complex personalities and rivalries, colonialism and ethnic nationalisms, and shifting alliances helped to bring about the failure of the long peace and the outbreak of a war that transformed Europe and the world. The War That Ended Peace brings vividly to life the military leaders, politicians, diplomats, bankers, and the extended, interrelated family of crowned heads across Europe who failed to stop the descent into war: in Germany, the mercurial Kaiser Wilhelm II and the chief of the German general staff, Von Moltke the Younger; in Austria-Hungary, Emperor Franz Joseph, a man who tried, through sheer hard work, to stave off the coming chaos in his empire; in Russia, Tsar Nicholas II and his wife; in Britain, King Edward VII, Prime Minister Herbert Asquith, and British admiral Jacky Fisher, the fierce advocate of naval reform who entered into the arms race with Germany that pushed the continent toward confrontation on land and sea. There are the would-be peacemakers as well, among them prophets of the horrors of future wars whose warnings went unheeded: Alfred Nobel, who donated his fortune to the cause of international understanding, and Bertha von Suttner, a writer and activist who was the first woman awarded Nobel's new Peace Prize. Here too we meet the urbane and cosmopolitan Count Harry Kessler, who noticed many of the early signs that something was stirring in Europe; the young Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty and a rising figure in British politics; Madame Caillaux, who shot a man who might have been a force for peace; and more. With indelible portraits, MacMillan shows how the fateful decisions of a few powerful people changed the course of history.

It began with a letter from a screenwriter, asking about a story. Your family. World War II. Nazi spies. Christine Kuehn was shocked and confused. When she asked her seventy-year-old father, Eberhard, what this could possibly be about, he stalled, deflected, demurred, and then wept. He knew this day would come. The Kuehns, a prominent Berlin family, saw the rise of the Nazis as a way out of the hard times that had befallen them. When the daughter of the family, Eberhard’s sister, Ruth, met Nazi leader Joseph Goebbels at a party, the two hit it off, and they had an affair. But Ruth had a secret—she was half Jewish—and Goebbels found out. Rather than having Ruth killed, Goebbels instead sent the entire Kuehn family to Hawaii, to work as spies half a world away. There, Ruth and her parents established an intricate spy operation from their home, just a few miles down the road from Pearl Harbor, shielding Eberhard from the truth. They passed secrets to the Japanese, leading to the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor. After Eberhard’s father was arrested and tried for his involvement in planning the assault, Eberhard learned the harsh truth about his family and faced a decision that would change the path of the Kuehn family forever. Jumping back and forth between Christine discovering her family’s secret and the untold past of the spies in Germany, Japan, and Hawaii, Family of Spies is fast-paced history at its finest and will rewrite the narrative of December 7, 1941.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7d80nnqe2ss8fch3dh3rej.jpg?v=5da2a4f439","LGL.oBQInLbblovzRPxZ2?NFQ:S5",2025,312,[348],{"id":349,"slug":350,"name":351},"01kx7d80ngjtk7pp4x9pg72can","christine-kuehn-hlao","Christine Kuehn",[353,354,355,356,357,358],{"id":201,"name":60,"slug":202,"is_fiction":21},{"id":228,"name":229,"slug":230,"is_fiction":20},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},{"id":166,"name":167,"slug":168,"is_fiction":20},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":359,"name":360,"slug":361,"is_fiction":20},69,"Biography & Memoir","biography-memoir",[],{"pace":267,"complexity":7,"audience":134,"mood":364,"themes":366,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[269,365],"mysterious",[],{"id":368,"slug":369,"title":370,"description":371,"primary_cover_url":372,"cover_blurhash":373,"first_publish_year":345,"community_rating_avg":251,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":374,"authors":375,"genres":380,"series":385,"enrichment":386},"01kx7d5vc57xnfcg81h75qeede","queens-at-war-englands-medieval-queens-book-four-xwll","Queens at War England's Medieval Queens Book Four","The tumultuous period in English history that marked the end of the medieval era and the rise of the Tudors comes to stunning life in the final volume of Alison Weir’s four-part Medieval Queens series, filled with dramatic true stories chronicling the turbulent reigns of the last five Plantagenet queens. The fifteenth century was a violent age. In Queens at War, Alison Weir chronicles the five queens who got caught up in wars that changed the courses of their lives: the Hundred Years’ War between England and France, and the Wars of the Roses between the royal Houses of Lancaster and York. Against this tempestuous backdrop, Weir describes the lives of five Plantagenet queens, who occupied the consort’s throne from 1403 to 1485. Joan of Navarre was happily married to King Henry IV but was accused of witchcraft by Henry’s heir and imprisoned. Paris-born Katherine of Valois’s political marriage to Henry V was meant to bring peace between England and France. It didn’t, and Henry died during the Hundred Years’ War without ever seeing his newborn heir, Henry VI, who was wed to another French princess, Margaret of Anjou, in 1445. In the Wars of the Roses, Margaret staunchly supported her husband and son. Henry’s successor, Edward IV, became embroiled in scandal after he fell in love with and married Elizabeth Widville, mother of the tragic Princes in the Tower. The notorious Richard III usurped Edward’s throne and married Anne Neville, who died after losing her only child, forsaken by her husband. “Underpinned by extensive reading of original sources” (The Washington Post), Weir’s Medieval Queens series strips away centuries of historical mythologizing to shed light on the genuine accomplishments and bravery of these fascinating female monarchs. Queens at War brings the series to an action-packed close.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7d5vcjw3ym3x9hgsfc3q2w.jpg?v=f21b3d8527","LGI;Cj8w9au3[DWBo1jb00_NxuD%",576,[376],{"id":377,"slug":378,"name":379},"01kkc82xmb1x737y3wp2z7988z","alison-weir-lq4q","Alison Weir",[381,382,383,384],{"id":228,"name":229,"slug":230,"is_fiction":20},{"id":261,"name":262,"slug":263,"is_fiction":21},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":179,"complexity":7,"audience":134,"mood":387,"themes":388,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[292,207],[],{"id":390,"slug":391,"title":392,"description":393,"primary_cover_url":394,"cover_blurhash":395,"first_publish_year":396,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":397,"authors":398,"genres":403,"series":408,"enrichment":409},"01kx6pbeg9t46zqya04psy9gnh","the-zimmermann-telegram-csxm","The Zimmermann telegram","In January 1917, British code-breakers in the secret Room 40 office intercepted a telegram from German Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmermann to his ambassador in Mexico.

She sets the telegram against the wider background of the German high command's decision to resume unrestricted submarine warfare, Woodrow Wilson's strained neutrality, and the unstable state of U.S.-Mexico relations during the Mexican Revolution.\n\nWhen the telegram's contents reached the American press in early 1917, public opinion shifted decisively, and Congress moved toward a declaration of war against Germany within weeks. Tuchman's account follows the intelligence operation from interception to publication and its role in bringing the United States into the First World War.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6pbejgpwp8ce20fs9je553.jpg?v=b672611afb","LZ9viaQ=j=bY*DkAV[kAM#pEjIj[",1979,243,[399],{"id":400,"slug":401,"name":402},"01kjt6zfmb7a5hd7c3jjzgqvb3","barbara-tuchman-6fib","Barbara Tuchman",[404,405,406,407],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},{"id":170,"name":171,"slug":172,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":174,"name":94,"slug":175,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":179,"complexity":7,"audience":134,"mood":410,"themes":412,"setting_period":7,"summary":413,"content_warnings":7},[207,269,411],"intellectual",[],"A history of the intercepted 1917 telegram in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the United States — and how its exposure helped draw America into World War I.",[415,555,773],{"key":416,"params":417,"works":418},"genre_year",{"genre":32,"year":9},[419,445,471,490,501,541],{"id":420,"slug":421,"title":422,"description":423,"primary_cover_url":424,"cover_blurhash":425,"first_publish_year":426,"community_rating_avg":251,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":427,"authors":428,"genres":433,"series":439,"enrichment":440},"01kwzr6h1r7qpna4wab0m4py1e","the-terminal-list-yqog","The terminal list","\"A Navy SEAL has nothing left to live for and everything to kill for after he discovers that the American government is behind the deaths of his team in this ripped-from-the-headlines political thriller.

But when those dearest to him are murdered on the day of his homecoming, Reece discovers that this was not an act of war by a foreign enemy but a conspiracy that runs to the highest levels of government. Now, with no family and free from the military's command structure, Reece applies the lessons that he's learned in over a decade of constant warfare toward avenging the deaths of his family and teammates. With breathless pacing and relentless suspense, Reece ruthlessly targets his enemies in the upper echelons of power without regard for the laws of combat or the rule of law.

To test the theory, he murders a rapacious old pawnbroker. But the deed does not liberate him; instead it plunges him into a fever of guilt, paranoia, and self-loathing, hunted less by the police than by his own conscience.\n\nAs the shrewd investigator Porfiry Petrovich circles ever closer and the devout, long-suffering Sonya offers a path toward confession and redemption, Dostoevsky builds an unbearably intimate portrait of a mind at war with itself. A foundational work of psychological fiction, it remains a searching meditation on guilt, free will, suffering, and the possibility of moral rebirth.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq7sa63n7s9pw8c7r57xavv.jpg","LIM~Lmr@^PkWysS15kr=00wJq]s9",1866,"4.50",442,[570],{"id":571,"slug":572,"name":573},"01kjq7sa2qtzn21cnchnhn8yxm","fedor-mixailovic-dostoevskii-xtfh","Fyodor Dostoyevsky",[575,579,580,584,588,592],{"id":576,"name":577,"slug":578,"is_fiction":21},6,"Mystery","mystery",{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":581,"name":582,"slug":583,"is_fiction":21},9,"Literary Fiction","literary-fiction",{"id":585,"name":586,"slug":587,"is_fiction":21},44,"Crime","crime",{"id":589,"name":590,"slug":591,"is_fiction":21},58,"Classics","classics",{"id":593,"name":594,"slug":595,"is_fiction":21},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",[],{"pace":131,"complexity":7,"audience":134,"mood":598,"themes":599,"setting_period":7,"summary":602,"content_warnings":7},[136,269,138],[600,601],"morally-grey","unreliable-narrator","A destitute, brilliant former law student in St. Petersburg murders a pawnbroker to test his theory that extraordinary men are above the moral laws governing ordinary people — and is then consumed by paranoia as he tries to outmaneuver both the police and his own conscience.",{"id":604,"slug":605,"title":606,"description":607,"primary_cover_url":608,"cover_blurhash":609,"first_publish_year":610,"community_rating_avg":611,"community_rating_count":436,"page_count":612,"authors":613,"genres":618,"series":634,"enrichment":635},"01kjr3bm25g7v8rjvsx07zzxsq","the-devil-in-the-white-city-8kme","Devil in the White City","In 1893, Chicago staked its reputation on the World's Columbian Exposition — a fair meant to outshine Paris and announce America's arrival as a global power.

Using the anonymity of the fair's crowds — young women drawn to the city for work, tourists passing through — Holmes lured victims into his \"World's Fair Hotel\" and killed an unknown number of them, a case that later shaped how Americans understood the idea of a serial killer.\n\nLarson tells both stories side by side, drawing on letters, court records, and contemporary newspapers to reconstruct the fair's engineering triumphs — the first Ferris wheel, the electric-lit \"White City\" itself — against the quiet horror unfolding a few streets away. It's history written with the momentum of a thriller, without inventing dialogue or events the record doesn't support.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4bjx00dcw0rhx8he9snv7.jpg","L7BpOc~WMy9Z$~j?j[WC004.WB-:",2003,"4.60",464,[614],{"id":615,"slug":616,"name":617},"01kjr3bm2ecv24y30jptevz83v","erik-larson-nnxy","Erik Larson",[619,620,624,625,626,630],{"id":228,"name":229,"slug":230,"is_fiction":20},{"id":621,"name":622,"slug":623,"is_fiction":21},8,"Historical Fiction","historical-fiction",{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":359,"name":360,"slug":361,"is_fiction":20},{"id":627,"name":628,"slug":629,"is_fiction":20},104,"True Crime","true-crime",{"id":631,"name":632,"slug":633,"is_fiction":20},115,"Architecture","architecture",[],{"pace":267,"complexity":7,"audience":134,"mood":636,"themes":637,"setting_period":7,"summary":638,"content_warnings":7},[136,269],[],"Two parallel stories unfold in 1893 Chicago: Daniel Burnham, the visionary architect behind the World's Columbian Exposition, races to build a world-class fair while battling fire, funding shortages, and engineering failures; and H.H.
